Unbearably realistic at times. I felt close to tears for a majority of the book. Really really good. Probably will never read again because it just made me so damn sad and hit justttt a bit too close to home. The internalized homophobia and depiction of faith and having parents that love you but don't love you is the best I’ve ever seen. Absolute kudos to the author.
Minor Critiques: Gets a little preachy at the end, has a few spots with questionable consent.
Graphic: Religious bigotry, Suicidal thoughts, Alcoholism, Mental illness, Homophobia, Grief, Death, Suicide attempt, and Panic attacks/disorders
